how can I move author & date so it appears AFTER the title on Zoren theme?

    Is there any way to move the author & date line for a post so that it appears after the title?

    Zoren seems to always render this information before the title. It looks odd when there are no featured images set on a site I’d like to refresh with a new theme. While it’s possible to turn off this line, I’d like to still have the date and author information around.

    Is there any (easy) way to put in something right under the date so it works like the The Twenty Ten Theme? For example

    Hi there, with Zoren being a responsive width theme that adjusts for all screen sizes, and given that post titles can vary in length (1, 2 or 3 lines or more) this is difficult to do. On top of that as you narrow the browser window, or view it on a tablet or phone, the title would overlap the meta data even more as they go to additional lines.

    Thanks so much for the detailed explanation on responsive themes and Zoren.

    I was looking to see if the date/author line could be handled much like its done in the ‘Able’ theme under the title, but perhaps there are some workarounds to this date/author line.

    One of the questions I have about Zoren is whether it’s possible to put the date before the author (with negative offsets?). This is short of turning off the author info:

    .author-meta {
    display: none;
    }

    Also, is there any possibility with Zoren theme to turn off the author/date line for the sticky post only? Unfortunately this code applies to all posts:

    .entry-meta {
    display: none;
    }

    Finally, if it’s very difficult to put the date/author under the title line, could this information be moved to the left sidebar area? A number of themes show the month and day in the left sidebar or just to the left of the title. An alternate solution would be to move this info to the end of the post.

    All suggestions and pointers are much appreciated.

    Here’s one follow-up note. As we can’t customize Zoren to meet our requirements by changing the CSS, we’ll be working to customize another theme (Sundance, Able or Suits).
    Thank you ‘thesacredpath’ for the explanation and for helping us understand the way this theme and the CSS customization actually works.

    Thanks for letting us know you’re switching themes.

    Just in case you’re curious and anyone runs into the same question in the future:

    Also, is there any possibility with Zoren theme to turn off the author/date line for the sticky post only?

    Sticky posts in all themes have the class sticky, so you can always target CSS on sticky posts specifically, like this to hide the entry-meta element:

    .sticky .entry-meta {
display: none;
}
